A Gift From The Heart

Hello wonderful people! As much as I would love to prattle on and on, I will try to keep this one short and sweet since its so very past my bedtime :) but I'm very excited about how it turned out!

This week for Farm Fresh Friday the challenge is to alter/recycle something. I knew right away what I wanted to use, especially after looking through the DT's projects for inspiration. A few months back I thought it would be cute to create heart shaped valentines for a few friends. Each box would have different contents and be decorated according to the particular reciever's style and personality. As if on the same wavelength, my local CS had gotten in these adorable but so very blah chipboard heart boxes in different sizes for about 99 cent each! I scooped up a few and well... As you can see, at least one was recycled for this project, let us not speak on where the others went... coughs *closet* ^.^
Anyway, this box was collecting dust in my closet, the stamp used was TGF's Queen Bean colored with my trusty copics and blinded by my candy cane, crystal and black diamond stickles. I'm not sure where I got the roses but I dyed them with copic r29 to match her highness and glittered them with stickles as well. The bottom half of the box was decorated with papers from a recollection stack I can't recall the name of at the moment lol dumb joke but what do you expect at 1am? Along with TGF's Farm Fresh Friday challenge, I'm also entering her royal highness in the Allsorts week 203 challenge- A Passion for Flowers ,  as well as TPE Challenge #196 Lift It since it was inspired by a DT member of Splendid Stamping's Altered gift box. Lol thanks for putting up with my nonsense you guys are awesome, now I can sleep soundly. See you guys tomorrow...well later today!
P.S. I may also do a small haul insert later as well

  1. I comment on all your posts so I'm starting to sound like a stalker now! But I do absolutely love this idea, I've often wondered about altering things like boxes and the like but I'm too wimpy! I have a box I'm attempting to alter as part of a challenge but its very daunting! I love this box! I feel inspired to crack on with mine :)
